Yep. Like these guys even want to talk to the media. They are just trying to get through it without giving anything away to their opponent or saying anything stupid. They want to get back to their real jobs which is to win football games.

I didn't say it is unimportant. But if we are going to expend assets to fix something it should be on the defense, not the offense.

Poor guy. Was Sal mean to you on the radio?

We also need to remember that we have gotten blown out in games the past couple years and McDermott usually responds and makes the necessary adjustments to get things turned around. Maybe that won't happen this year, but it might, and we have precedent for it. Let's get healthy and let's see what McDermott does to turn things around. The season is far from over.

You mean, like... score more points than them? Are you sure there is no other way?

I agree with Greg Cosell's take on Tannehill. He has always been an excellent thrower of the football. He just needs things well defined for him. He needs his reads defined, and he needs the structure to be simple and effective. He isn't going to beat you with his mind. But he can make all the throws and he is accurate. He is also mobile. Because of the lack of the mental aspects of the game, he is never going to be an elite QB. But he has always been decent and he is in a system now that allows him to flourish.

I think the real problem is the defensive line. If that got fixed I think we'd see Edmunds get better. He isn't a game breaker but if he has players around him doing their jobs and playing well he can be a good contributor.

I picked us to win against KC. I thought it was going to be another game like the Dallas Thanksgiving game where our team comes into primetime fired up, with an elite defense. But... not sure how our defense can handle the Chiefs now. They certainly are not elite anymore. I expect a loss, but we'll see. We've seen McDermott shore up the defense after a big loss in the past.

I don't really agree about Phillips because he was always a liability on run downs and he was never diligent with his gaps, but I can agree with Lawson. I was all for moving on from him, but he was good at setting the edge and not letting things get by him. The defensive line really misses that this year. Better to at least have someone set the edge if they can't get to the QB and pressure him. Right now we're getting neither.

I just thought the Raiders would be a sneaky team to come in and hand us a loss (and they showed they can do that with their win over the Chiefs). And I felt like we could match up well with the Rams, especially if we could get after Goff, which we didn't. It will be an interesting season. You always win some and lose some you don't expect.

That's the nature of these boards. It's Superbowl time when we win a game, and tear it all down and rebuild when we lose a game. Just have to ignore it and move forward.

I had us going 4-1, but I had us losing to Vegas and winning against the Titans. But that was a little biased. I just WANTED the win against the Titans because I don't like them and I don't like Tannehill.

I'm fine with having mediocre TE's if we can get the defense turned around. The offense is not the problem.

Oh! You're back from your hibernation now that the Bills lost a game. Welcome back.

I'd give him a solid C. He had some noticeably off throws today. Throwing behind receivers a lot. Plus the really bad INT where he just didn't see the defender lurking. He was also late on a lot of his throws. Receivers had to be open a long time before he trusted throwing it to them. He needs to get that ball out a bit quicker and hit them right when they come open. But he showed some good stuff. Special teams and defense were really brutal today.

They really weren't today. They were not setting the edge. Rushing inside all night and allowing the runners to get around the edge. They can take the blame for the other 28 points though. Plenty of blame points to go around.

I never claimed our defense was good. Henry was not the problem. Tannehill was the problem. Which is why I said before the game it's ok if Henry runs for 100+ yards. Just stop Tannehill. And we didn't.

Ok. Comeback starts now!

Yeah, because if we don't go 16-0 we must suck, right?

Didn't KC have a previous positive case as well?

What!? People told me he was hiding under his bed with a gas mask on!!

Honestly, I think it's fine if Henry has a big game. Contain Tannehill, sack him, intercept him, hit him. We'll win this game regardless of what Henry does (within reason). This sport comes down to the QB. Last week we contained Josh Jacobs, but the game got a little iffy because we couldn't really contain Carr.

Even if the Bills lose they are still in a good spot. They aren't going to win 16 games this season. They will lose a game. And if they do tonight, it doesn't mean the season won't be great. So enjoy the ride, the ups and the downs.

Snap out of it.

Yeah he's been doing great this year.
